There will be BIGGER and BETTER

happy monday!

so, this weekend was full of ups and downs and i want to share my little experience with you here on the blog.

thursday, friday, and saturday were auditions for the USU Spirit Squad.  all week i had been debating whether or not i wanted to try out for the team.  there are so many other good things that i can be focusing my time on, but in the end i decided to try out. i knew that there would be a chance that i would regret it if i didn't try out so that is what made my decision.  i have been on the team for the past two years so i felt pretty good going into the auditions. i made it to the final day and then i got cut on the last cut of the day. it hit me - #19 didn't get called. i didn't make it. i would not be returning to perform on the spectrum floor or the usu football field again.
the sadness that i felt was not because it was the end of my dancing career. i knew the day where i stopped dancing would come eventually. it isn't the career path that i have chosen, nor am i good enough at dancing to "make it big" anyways. the sadness i felt was from the fact that i would miss my team. i loved every moment that i was dancing with those girls. i am always so happy when i am dancing, and having such amazing teammates was just the sugar on top.
i know that me not making the team happened for a reason.  i am a HUGE believer in the saying, "Everything happens for a Reason." i believe that God has something else in store for me. i believe that there are opportunities that are going to arise for me in the upcoming school year that i don't know about yet. i will now be able to focus more on my training - the career path that i have chosen and something that i am extremely passionate about. in fact, i might even be returning as the trainer for the utah state spirit squad in the fall although i am no longer on the team. opportunities await me and BIGGER and BETTER things are in store for me. i won't quit, and i won't be let down. i know that i am capable of great things, and i know that i will be able to help people with my ability to train them and give them a happier and healthier life.

i know and understand that it isn't always the easiest thing to look on the bright side. but sometimes, thats the only thing we can do. so, look to all the amazing opportunies that you have in your life. everything might not be perfect or exactly how you want it to be, but just know you are blessed and have MANY things to be grateful for. i know i do.

so, this fall i am planning on training lots - hopefully getting a job at gym here in logan, and i will be personally training anyone that is interested!

bigger and better things people. bigger and better. :)
